Ariane Labed's Olla, which is receiving an exclusive global online premiere on Mubi, is showing in Mubi's Brief Encounters series.Above: Olla poster design by Frith Kerr (Studio Frith).“For most Slavic women getting married and having a family is a mandatory condition for their achievement as a woman.

Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Ariane Labed's Olla, which is receiving an exclusive global online premiere on Mubi, is showing from June 1 - July 1, 2020 in Mubi's Brief Encounters series.The number of actors who express interest in directing is probably highly disproportionate to the number of them that actually do.

Romanna Lobach is the magnetic protagonist in this half-hour short about a mum-and-son household rocked by a new arrival
This half-hour short film by Ariane Labed is a sparkily absurdist declaration of female independence that bucks against male fantasy. Romanna Lobach, blood-orange tresses blazing through the mist as she walks across a field in the opening shot, is the Russian mail-order bride shipped in by Pierre (Grégoire Tachnakian), a French bachelor living in a time-warp suburban house with his infirm mother. Fawning over his bride across the kitchen table, he christens her Lola and sets her to work as nursemaid.
